After Failing to Help Thai Cave Rescue, Musk Attacks Diver

He’s in too deep. Billionaire Elon Musk delivered a custom-made child-size submarine that he said could help rescue the 12 boys trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand earlier this month. But rescuers decided not to use it, and a team of divers completed the mission. One of them, Vernon Unsworth, labeled Musk’s sub a “PR stunt,” after which the Tesla CEOaccused the veteran diver of being a pedophile in tweets he has since deleted. Unsworth says he’s considering legal action against Musk.

In now-deleted tweets, Mr. Musk had called Vern Unsworth a "pedo guy" after the cave expert ridiculed a mini-submarine built by the Tesla CEO for the rescue effort as a "PR stunt".

Mr. Unsworth told reporters on Monday that he was considering legal action. 

"It's not finished," he told Australian network Channel 7.

Thailand-based Mr. Unsworth's knowledge of the cave complex is said to have played a key role in the rescue effort. He traveled into the caves in the first days after the boys went missing and helped bring in top international cave rescue experts for the mission.

Mr. Unsworth had earlier said that the mini-sub built by Mr. Musk's team and flown to Thailand before being rejected as inappropriate for the rescue mission by Thai officials would have had "absolutely no chance of working".

Elon Musk, who regularly takes on journalists and other critics on Twitter, on Sunday tweeted a response to Mr. Unsworth, without using his name but calling him a "British expat guy who lives in Thailand". 

He said he would make a video showing the mini-sub making it deep inside the cave "no problemo", adding: "Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it".

 TWITTER

Musk later doubled-down on his statement when challenged.

 

He later deleted the tweets - which were sent to his more than 22 million followers - and is yet to publicly respond to the outcry.

"Yes," Mr. Unsworth said when asked if he would consider legal action.  Last week, as the rescue effort was underway, Mr. Musk hit out at the Thai official in charge of the mission's command center, Narongsak Osotthanakorn, after he said the mini-sub was "not practical with our mission", though it was "technologically sophisticated".

Mr. Musk responded by saying Mr. Osotthanakorn had been "described inaccurately as 'rescue chief' and was "not the subject matter expert". 

He also tweeted an earlier email from Richard Stanton - one of two British caving experts called into the front of the rescue - who had urged the business leader to build the capsule as quickly as possible.

Mr. Unsworth told the AFP news agency that he would make a decision on whether he takes legal action against Mr. Musk after flying back to the UK this week.

"I have a lot of support from people around the world astonished by his unfounded comments," he told the Guardian.

While researching this story we find out Mr.Elon Musk who in 2014 described himself as a Socialist and in 2018 as an Independent, this is  Socialist_Indpendent Billionaire who likes to give a lot of money to the Republicans. Just to a GOP pack the years 2016-18 He is given $4 million dollars (as reported by Salon). I understand that big corporation likes to gain access to the governing politicians and the best way is money but when you go beyond what your Socialist_ or Independent political party would give, then you are absolutely backing a governing Man that cages children or maybe Mr. Musk doesn't care unless they are his children.
